Travis
Horseman

Travis was
born in Springfield, Ohio, and discovered comic books at the age of

six. Since
then, the course of his life has been shaped by his love of comics,

theater and
classical history. In addition to being a writer, he has been an

actor, a
director, a produced playwright, and occasionally, all three at once.

After writing
the first draft of Amiculus as a ten-page play in college, he began

adapting it as
a comic in 2007, intending it to be a short 32-page project to test

the waters for
a longer series. Six years and 162 pages later, it has become an

epic unto
itself.

Working in
tandem with Italian artist Giancarlo Caracuzzo, Travis anticipates the

first volume
of this 3-part series to be completed this year.

Travis
currently lives in Columbus, Ohio.
